The PNY XLR8 Gaming MAKO RGB DDR5 6000MHz we have here this time is one of the DDR5 kits that come ready with both Intel XMP and AMD EXPO profiles.<\/p>\n<p>While users can make use of the EXPO profile to gain a bit more performance with their DDR5 memory kit, the situation with DDR5 on AMD is very similar to what we have experienced on Intel, which still requires some optimization. So in this test, we have compared the performance between the stock EXPO profile and our slightly optimized settings, just so we can confirm if the extra effort is really worth your time.<\/p>\n<h2>Specifications<\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Capacities<\/td>\n<td>Singles: 16GB<br \/>\nKits of 2: 32GB<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Speeds<sup>*<\/sup><\/td>\n<td>4800 &#8211;

most significant performance improvement can be seen in 1080P resolution, with both the 1% low and average FPS showing about a 10% increase compared to the default EXPO profile settings. Improvement can also be seen in 1440P resolution but the performance gain is very minimal when it comes to 4K resolution.<\/p>\n<p>So if you&#8217;re gaming on 1080P or 1440P resolution, sufficient optimization on the memory timings is another way to improve the overall performance apart from overclocking your GPU or CPU.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>While the default CL40 loose timings might be average at first glance, the majority of the DDR5 kits with the SK Hynix M-die memory chips can be manually optimized for better performance. That goes the same for the PNY XLR8 Gaming MAKO RGB DDR5, which will require some manual optimization if you really want to get the best performance out of it. As of now, I think DDR5-6000 CL30 is still very reasonable on both Intel and AMD platforms, and it&#8217;s actually very easy to achieve.<\/p>\n<p>Now for the price, with DDR5 memory kits finally getting more affordable nowadays, you can easily get a pair for under RM 1000. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo\/?fbid=696995642217471&amp;set=a.576912287559141\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Currently retailed at RM 569<\/a>, the PNY XLR8 Gaming MAKO RGB DDR5 is probably one of the most affordable DDR5-6000 memory kits on the market right now. If you&#8217;re looking for a reasonable and affordable DDR5 memory kit for your budget AMD Zen 4 or Intel 13th-gen upgrade, the PNY XLR8 Gaming MAKO RGB DDR5 is an definitely option to consider.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"17112\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/review-transcend-ssd230s\/tech-critter-recommended\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Tech-Critter-Recommended-e1513687449974.png\" data-orig-size=\"100,146\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Tech Critter Recommended\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Tech Critter Recommended&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Tech-Critter-Recommended-271x397.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Tech-Critter-Recommended-271x397.png\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17112 lazyload\" title=\"Tech Critter Recommended\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Tech-Critter-Recommended-e1513687449974.png\" alt=\"Tech Critter Recommended\" width=\"100\" height=\"146\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"17112\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/review-transcend-ssd230s\/tech-critter-recommended\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Tech-Critter-Recommended-e1513687449974.png\" data-orig-size=\"100,146\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Tech Critter Recommended\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Tech Critter Recommended&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Tech-Critter-Recommended-271x397.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Tech-Critter-Recommended-271x397.png\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17112 lazyload\" title=\"Tech Critter Recommended\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Tech-Critter-Recommended-e1513687449974.png\" alt=\"Tech Critter Recommended\" width=\"100\" height=\"146\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<h4>Where To Buy<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3InW7Qu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/invol.co\/clgw262\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lazada<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/shopee.com.my\/PNY-XLR8-DDR5-6000-6200MHz-MAKO-16GB-Low-profile-PC-Memory-Module-(AMD-Expo-Ready)-i.167826817.16042130667\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shopee<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With AMD finally embracing DDR5 on their latest Zen 4 CPUs and AM5 motherboards,\u00a0 they have also announced the Extended Profile for Overclocking, or EXPO for short as the long-awaited response to Intel&#8217;s XMP profile for memory kits.
